I cannot tell you how honored I am to be mentioned among only four other podcasts, number one being eBay Radio, with Jim Griffith (Griff) and Lee Mirabal!  Wooohoooooo!  Also on this list is John Lawson, of ColderICE, a ecommerce podcaster/blogger, and of course, Dave White, Host of eBay and Beyond, Basics to Business, with whom I co-host w/Kat Simpson on Monday’s 12 noon Central time.

RBH has joined our podcast on more than a few occasions and is a favorite guest.  Richard also frequents our live chat room on TalkShoe of both eBay & Beyond and RRB Radio!  He adds insights, asks questions, and contributes when he can join us.

On April 2, 2010 eBayInkBlog celebrated its second birthday and I’d like to personally thank RBH for a great blog, complete with his insights, honesty, and integrity.  eBay Ink brought eBay into the 21st century with the latest news and happenings at eBay, his “5 minutes with,…” video segments, and behind the scenes interviews.  He has set the standard for corporate social media savvy, and has become quite the corporate blogger rock star! You can always find Richard blogging or tweeting about what’s going on at eBay at eBayInkBlog.com.  Thank you again for your mention of RRB Radio on eBay Ink!  I hope to see you in our chat room again real soon.  You are welcome to join us any time.

Unfortunately, this is another presentation I was unable to attend and haven’t been able to find information online. I also lost my search on twitter so I can’t post the tweets from this one. If anyone knows how to recover older tweets – I would love to know. search.twitter.com only goes back a couple of days, it seems.

I missed this session as I was in the eBay Town hall so am posting all the reviews and information from the net – if you have llinks or information to share, please comment!

eCommerceSummit Atlanta 2009.1

The Next presentation was the ‘eBay Townhall’. This was handled pretty well. They had microphones to run around the audience and allow folks to directly ask questions. My only frustration was similar to the one ColderIce expressed when he recorded his Wednesday 114 show with Dave White on the eBay and Beyond radio show live from the summit. The recording hasn’t been cleaned up and isn’t online yet but I do remember one line that I totally agreed with! “Who cares what you (the Seller) think about FREE SHIPPING - it isn’t about what YOU want – it’s about what your BUYERS want!” John, if I got that wrong – pop in and clear it up!

In my opinion all the questions about Free shipping just took away from the time we could have all been asking about other things to do with the Ebay portion of our business. I admit, several folks made good sense;  in particular I remember the one who talked about eBay revenues going up with beingn able to collect FVFs on the shipping

cost, and the one who sold very heavy items. However, eBay is folllowing the customers and all signs point to buyers demading this option. If you can, find a way to make it work for your business. If you can’t, sell somewhere else, or stop complaining about the benefits eBay is giving to Free shipping.  eBay offers lots of promotions – most of which dont aply to my items, but I take advantage of the ones that do and move on past the ones that don’t.
